- SPOKEN COMMUNICAHON Since English forms the background of our written and spoken communication, much time and attention were given to its study in Greenwood. Three units in junior high and two units in senior high English were required. Senior English was offered as an elective. Speech was open to all senior high students. Grammar, written and oral composition, and literature were emphasized in all English classes. Speech proved to be a popular course for those hoping to enter the field of speech or dramatics, or for those who just wanted to improve their powers of speech. Latin-English gave eighth graders a better understand- ing of words and their derivatives, thus improving their mastery of the English language. Latin I and Latin II were offered, particularly for ninth and tenth graders. Latin I students rehearse their skit, Penelope and Ulysses, for the Latin Club banquet. Jan Stevenson and Tony Dustrnan look impressed by john Williams' strength while Mike Long and David Yates look on in disgust. Be sure that you have checked the part of speech, definition, and cor- rect pronunciation before you answer, says Mrs. Rice to seventh graders Bob Blalock and Sandy Hawkins as she instructs them in the proper usage of Mr. Webster, the dictionary. MILDRED BAKER RICE, Supervisor of English and Latin, received the BS degree from SMS. She sponsors Latin Club and Seventh Grade.

Spanish and French classes attracted many students at Greenwood the past year. French I students began the study of grammar, while Spanish II students went into the complicated art of conversation in a foreign language. Both classes not only helped strengthen the students in the use of the French or Spanish language, but also acquainted them with the peoples and customs of their respective countries. Movies and lectures by teachers helped make the study more realistic. Los amigos of the second year Spanish class study for their weekly vocabulary test.
